Default Re: ALUMINUM vs. STEEL/Aluminum TRAILERS

I have been looking at this also. I haven't purchased an alum one yet, but driving to Florida and back from Illinois was rough on our steel frame alum skin trailer. Mine is a 2000, but I am told that they treat the steel and protect it from the alum skin to prevent electrolysis.

It seems that the alum deal would be a good investment if you plan on keeping them a long time and I may just do that. I liked the looks of the Optimas, but the local Pace dealer said that they have had problems with the Optimas. PACE has a silver arrow alum model, but i have only seen a couple.

One brand that has gotten good reviews from all dealers and racers that have had them is an ATC brand. I am told that they use a boxed perimeter fram that doesn't rely on the box to keep it's strength.

Maybe there are some others with first hand info, but I would say to take some time doing research. It takes me awhile to make such a large purchase so I will be looking for awhile. I can tell you that I hope PACE silver arrow makes my list. PACE has been awesome with mine. They come by the trailer and fix stuff for free at the track whenever I am at a NAtional. They don't ask questions, if it is a PACE, they come by and do stuff for free. It is a nice touch for sure.
